Pros

Some staff benefits are good. Some teams are good with good managers.

Cons

Some of the newly promoted team lead or managers are so incompetent. The manager not only lacks the understanding of his/her team's own work, but merely follows the punchy words from the upper management, micro-manages people's emails and words, and have different moods on different days. The manager complains of the team not understanding his/her inferior ideas, yet complain people not listening to him/her. The people who complain how bad the department is, as it turns out, are the exact reason why the department culture is so bad. Some offices have so many useless processes. People just get busy at playing the Lego of processes, achieving little of business value.

Pros

Benefits were nice, pay was acceptable

Cons

Good luck using unlimited PTO or taking paternal leave, this company is bleeding talent from self inflicted wounds and replacing it as quick as possible with folks in India or APAC. I at this company for years and only encountered 1 leader with a spine that cared about people. S&P immediately cut DEI after trump was elected and relabeled everything to “people first” but it’s hard to see where the people are first in any category. CEO is out of touch along with most leaders once they hit director level. This company is another example of using AI to replace people and the product is sloppy. Once something is “automated” they fire at least 25% of the team. I would encourage you to stay job hunting even if you accept a role at this company, never forget you are a number at S&P.
